Circles of Compassion

21815k

A Painting by Savvy Raj

Titled: Transcendence http://www.savvyraj.com

Compassion is a  gentle inclusive yet so very powered by its infinite expansiveness. Surrounding the self with compassion circles is a duty to your own soul rather than a selfish act. In a world that is apparently getting overly self-obsessed, conscious compassionate thoughts within will become gradually embedded in the core structure of the being and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength. Therein lies the success of steering towards peace & humanity through positively uplifting thoughts.

  Every compassionate thought that is then spread outwards, will have the strength of its own circles of trust in the boundless infinity of love. Our world needs this in every moment more than we can even imagine. Harness the energies of Compassion that hugs, heals and helps humanise humans.

We are equipped by nature to give and share more than what we perceive we have, just like the abundance of nature our being is infinite in its potential.And in every compassionate share,  there is greater regeneration and replenishment. With a deeper integration of compassionate reflections there occurs a transcendence towards universal empathy.

Connect yourself in this chain of compassionate circles and care to reach out from your core outward. .Trust enough to let go care to remember that we are all dancing beings in an exquisite circle of love and light beyond matter. All is well in the lightness of being. Let the connectedness in compassion dance from and through you !

Shine on …

Kindred spirits

Pride makes us artificial

Humility makes us real

Thomas Merton

So a long long time ago when I started sharing my writing skills, I received a beautiful message from a reader, who also introduced Thomas Merton, the poet & monk to me. I was intrigued by his words. And went on to read more. For back then I didn’t know  who Thomas Merton was and had never heard or come across his works.

This morning I came across  the above quote, another gem of a quote from the mystical light of this soul…

There are some souls whose works strike a deep chord without ever meeting them… you sense a connection in their words..

I am grateful in all humility to have come across the profoundness of these kindred spirits. 🙏

To emote is to heal

Sit down with your feelings

Like a good friend

Listen to it to understand

What it conveys to you

It works out for you.

Your emotions are not your enemy

They are your vent

They are your support systems

For the body to feel at ease

Be a good friend to you

And your emotions will thank you

As you thank them.

Travel On…

I wrote this poem back in time after an unexpected opportunity to travel set me off across exploring unforgettable places and spaces on my own.

Yesterday as I was conversing with one of my earlier dance student and friend now, he somehow reminded me of this poem again , as he  has been traveling the length and breadth of India on a bike, covering over 80% of India.

While I wait to see his photo shares and hear more from him about his experience in the journey.

Thought of sharing my verses  again.

Travel On

If you are given an opportunity to take a journey

Take it, for you meet many versions of you.

Along the road.

Some you cherish, some cherish you.

Some that change you and some that you change.

Fear not the travel or the traveling…

For one thing is certain

You come away enriched and wiser in every journey.

Travel to liberate yourself
From self assumed notions
To see the light on the other side
There is much to unlearn and unbox
As you travel yield in to the insights
Travel every once in a while if opportunity arises,

Take the chance,
You are richer in your explorations much as your experiences.
Travel on …

Thank the good

In the depths of darkness

Keep the faith on a new dawn

In the numerous wrongs

See the rights

Thank the good

Be grateful for it

Make it a practice of a life time

Know you’re in a better space.

Way of Love

It’s the way of love, to accept and allow
It’s the way of love, to empower with hope
It’s the way of love, to sense the light of life.
It’s the way of love, to share from the heart.

For love is the gift of life.
And it’s the way of love, to be filled with gratitude.

Every bit matters

Every bit of sharing
Every bit of appreciation
Every bit of encouragement
Every bit of understanding
Every bit of inclusion
Every bit of validation
Matters a great deal
To some one somewhere
Nurturing hopefulness in living
Nourishing the nature of life.

Hope is here to stay!

Truly life is how you live it.

Your attitude your thoughts matter.

It truly is starkly different

The way we feel dark and dense in scarcity consciousness

The way we feel lightness of being in sensing abundance.

From ashes, to rising like a phoenix,

The power of hope changes destiny.


Limitless is the power of positive thoughts.

Thoughts of abundance opens up ways to explore more.
In moments of despair, it truly is about flipping the script in our heads to sense possibilities in the limitless potential.

Unending is the power of hope.
After all…
Day unto night
Dark unto light. 
Hope is here to stay!

Salute to Trees

Came across a beautiful tree in my walk  this morning…

Wondering of the lifetime experiences that trees live through

Of how many seasons it must have seen

Of how it must have survived through the storms

As well as enjoyed the beauty of springtines

Of the countless lives it could have generously sheltered

And continues to do so….

Strengthened by nature

Thriving in the surviving

Salute to the tree.

Music & Creativity

Inculcating a habit of listening to music regularly, or even practicing music by learning to sing or playing an instrument, can improve your creativity.

Learning anything new can spark new neural pathways and bridge old learnings in associations to ignite unique creative expressions.

As far as music it is a holistic experience with benefits much beyond its entertainment factor. The right music can heal and regenerate cells in our body.

Music can be a healing medicine for the body, mind and spirit. Personally, like for many of you, I love many art forms, like music, dance and painting, writing and singing because they have an immensely positive effect on me. It makes me whole again, ready to face a new day… For instance, I am fond of different types of music at different times of the day…often I sense how refreshed I feel after listening or singing to them.

At home every once in a while my daughter and I find singing mashups of old and new songs together on the Karaoke very rejuvenating…One thing leads to another, humming or singing some melodies while going through the day, makes the moments feel light. I also find listening to gentle, soft instrumental music while painting very enjoyable.

What are your experiences with music?

When was the last time you heard your favorite songs?

When did you do something creative while listening to music?

Manifest Abundance

Belief is an act of invoking wisdom.
Trust in waiting is true acceptance.
Allowing is an act giving in faith
Receiving in humility balances the ego.


Trust and believe in the infinite abundance
Allow yourself to give and receive
Let your intentions be guided in goodwill and grace.
Abundance manifests!

Your life your way

What is your lifestyle in this moment?

Are you listening to your body and what it is telling you?

Do you find time to invest in yourself?

Are you on your priority list?

Do you have a habit of putting others happiness and health ahead of yours?

Do you accommodate for everything and are perhaps less assertive and over tolerant?

The truth is you can never give from an empty vessel. Creating a beautiful life that you love is as important as for others. If there are gaps in your vessel of life,what will you share from?

Creating your own well-being in life is a responsiblity to yourself.

Ultimately it’s all about finding time to find yourself your way!
